LATEST @ 5.15PM | Eighteen firefighters have worked tirelessly to contain a massive blaze at a duplex in Paradise Point.
The blaze broke out at the property, containing two units, around 2.30pm on Drake Avenue.
Firey’s worked for over two hours to bring the inferno under control.
Sadly, the property has been destroyed, and the roof has completely caved in.
Station Officer David Gemeri told Seven News they faced a tough job.
“The crews worked really hard at the start to try and get this fire under control,” Mr Gemeri says.
“Unfortunately on arrival one of the duplexes was well involved but they were able to contain that fire within the site so it didn’t spread to any neighbouring property’s,
“The front duplex was also involved.”
